When I was a child, my parents went into debt to purchase a set of encyclopedias. They felt that it was important for us to have this source of knowledge and we did frequently use the encyclopedias for school work and general knowledge questions. Of course, encyclopedias have yielded to online searches and technology.
Proverbs 1:5, 7 says, “Let the wise hear and increase in learning, and the one who understands obtain guidance. The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge; fools despise wisdom and instruction.” Trusting in God’s wisdom is the way to gain wisdom ourselves, as well as to increase in learning and obtain guidance. To know wisdom is to come to the source of all wisdom, our God.
